Under Palliative Care For Brain CA, Has Severe Bed Sores, Air Bed Doesn't Help Much. Any Alternate Products ?
Dr, My uncle is suffering from brain CA and he is under palliative care now. He has severe bed sore as a result of being bed ridden. We are using air bed, but that is not suffice to give him comfort. Kindly suggest a good product that I can access from India. We heard of some bed that is with a design of whoe where the body won t get any pressure continuesly. Thank you Dr.

ur uncle is suffering from brain CA n is under palliative care.He has severe bedsore n he is already using air bed.Then ther is no use of thinking about better beds.Only i advise you to regularly change his posture side to side every 1-2 hours,get regular dressing of the wound n try to keep that area n surrounding area dry n give him goot proteinaceouus diet to enhance the healing process.IF he is not able to take orally give him ryles tube feeds regularly.
